Happy 4th of July!

Seattle wasn't supposed to have a fireworks show this year, but a few months back a local radio show made the announcement and listeners freaked out. Donations quickly started to poor in and Corporate America (Microsoft, Starbucks, etc...) began pitching in as well and within 24 hours Seattle's fireworks show was back on! Read the whole story here.

This was actually my first time watching the show from the grassy hill at Gas Works Park. I figured I've lived my entire life in Seattle, we're going to be out of town for a friends wedding next year, and there's a chance we'll be living elsewhere in 2012 (or the end of the world...) so now is the time! It was drizzling most of the day leading up to it, but once we arrived at the park it had stopped. We found ourselves a nice patch among the thousand of other folks and waited 2 hours for the show to start. It was well worth it:
